2006 Bruno Giacosa Spumante Extra Brut 87 Points
Italy, Lombardia, Lombardia Spumante
Ripe apple with red berries and toasted almonds. Balanced with enough acidity for brightness. Good, even if somewhat simple.

2014 Bruno Giacosa Barbera d'Alba 88 Points

Sweet and forward red and black cherry that starts of powerful and finishes with plenty of acidity. Much better with food, good now.

2014 Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo d'Alba 89 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Alba, Nebbiolo d'Alba
Red cherry with licorice and rose hints. Firm and slightly austere when first poured, this softened and opened up with just a few minutes in glass. Classic Nebbiolo, even if just moderate concentration and length. A clear step up from the Barbera in the next glass based on overall balance.

2009 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto 92 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Open 4 hours before serving. Red cherry and berry aromas with sweet spice and floral hints. Super expressive nose, followed by similar flavors, but slightly more muted, coming across as somewhat ripe but with moderate weight. Very good balance. Certainly upside from here.

2011 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Riserva Asili 94 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Open 4 hours before served. Lots of forward red fruits, somewhat more reticent vs Barolo 2009 in the next glass, but with great concentration and length, with unfolding nuance. Wonderful now, with greater upside from here.

1998 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco 91 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Open two hours before serving. Absolutely classic - red cherry, dried rose petals, black pepper, black licorice. Good weight and length. At its peak now, but certainly no hurry to drink up.

Demis-sec. Very pleasant red berry with nice overall balance, even if slightly simple.
